India has over 1.2 crore gig workers. They don't know that the government owes them money.
Zepto/Swiggy Delivery partners, Uber/Rapido cab drivers, Yes Madam/Urban Company service professionals who make our lives easier every single day.
When they get paid, a small amount is deducted as TDS.
But most gig workers earn below the taxable limit. So this isn't tax they actually owe.
It is their own money, sitting with the income tax department, waiting to be claimed.
The only way to get it back is by filing an ITR.
And 9 out of 10 of them don't know this. They assume the money is simply gone.
So here is one small thing you can do.
The next time someone delivers your order or drops you home, ask them a simple question.
"Have you filed your ITR?"
If they look puzzled and ask what that means, give them 60 seconds.
Tell them how it works.
They make our lives easier every single day.
The least we can do is make sure they don't leave their own money behind.
P.S: We are doing our bit at TaxBuddy by helping 5,00,000+ gig workers claim their tax refund.

@tobi is this the kind of support you have asked your team to provide? One of the worst support team I have come across. Our website is down for more than 24 hours now!!! Repetitive response from the team, unable to resolve the payment gateway issue for paying shopify bill. We tried 10+ different credit cards and UPI ids, none working! Is there anyone here to resolve it?
